<h1>Glossary of symbols used</h1>
<p>This project required three conversions of the symbols used in the tables; It
started with the conversion done by Coale and Demeny to make their
mathematical expressions fit the typesetting of the software they used to
create the tables <a class="reference external" href="#cd1966">(Coale and Demeny 1966, 38-39)</a>. Again another mapping is
used in the United Nations tables I've imported. However, my database
software (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.slqite.org">sqlite3</a>) and website software (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org">python</a>) had some problems
itself dealing with regular versus capital letters. This required a third
conversation. Naturally, there are also some column/methods which do not
match, such as the S(x,n) (sometimes noted as s(x,n)) and a(s,n) in the UN
tables, and the P(X) function in the Coale &amp; Demeney tables. To keep things
as transparent as possible, I've added a table with all the conversions
below.</p>
<p>P(X) had its own little problem, as had the calculation of anything based on
L(X).</p>
